OpenSuSE has good Xen support built into it at both the kernel level and the administrative level. (That is, there is Xen support built into openSuSE's admin tools - yast and yast2). The current version of OpenSuSE (openSuSE 11.2) still uses Xen as it's preferred virtualization, but I expect this will change to KVM as most everyone seems to be changing.
I have used Xen - sometimes successfully and sometimes not so successfully. Xen works very well once implemented, but it can be a bit difficult to implement. At times I have had trouble building virtual machines and getting all the networking straight and what not. And I have had trouble when I was running on old hardware that required running in paravirtualized mode. As a result, I use VMWare server a good deal more the Xen. But, I have had very good experience with both of these virtualization packages. And although I have had pain with each of these packages, they both work well and I am not shy about using either of them on production machines. Of course, KVM seems to be the future and I will probably be there someday.
